Omega had 55 victories last year (Sky had just 35)

The record belongs to HTC-Columbia which had 85 victories in 2009.

EDIT:Too late

HTC with Greipel, Cavendish and Hagen when he didn't suck

I miss that HTC team.

Looking back it's pretty remarkable how dominant they were. And technically they're still doing it under the Guise of the Omega Pharma name and colors.

I miss that HTC team.

Me too, I was gutted when they folded. An absolute machine that had unbelievable talent in their roster.

In the mid-late 90's Mapei sometimes had around (or slightly over) 100 victories a year. In the 70's a team like flandria (with Maertens, De Vlaeminck,...) must have had a cartload of victories too.

Giant is starting to remind me of HTC nowadays. Kittel, Degenkolb, Mezgec, Sinkeldam, Ahlstrand as talented sprinters.. Dumoulin the ITT beast, now also a talented climber in Barguil.

They still have a long way to go. HTC had third tier riders on a GT podium and winning TT worlds. Goss, EBH and Burghardt had a (classic-winning) level in that team they achieved again. Cav climbed like an angel up the Poggio in 2009, let's see if Giant can apply the same on Kittel.

No need for that since Degenkolb is the leader for MSR as long as he stays with Giant. And with the new route, no pure sprinter can win it.

this, some members here didnt like them, but I loved the team .

also 2015: TS 82 wins

It's easy to rack up those wins when you're sending the top two sprinters in the world and a full strength sprint train to some decidedly average races against fish-in-a-barrel sprinting fields.

Why anybody would pine for the days when absolutely any flat race other than Roubaix was even more boring than the 2009 Tour de Suisse is beyond me. And what's worse, you actually had teams trying to emulate this crap, helping make more and more races into unwatchable group rides, only without the strength to actually justify the work by winning at the end that HTC had.

Libertine strikes again
that was some 81 enjoyable days of that season for you

HTC had one hell of a team in 09, Holy Toledo Bob Stapleton had fun that year
